And they continue to do so today. The control-left still wants that kind of control over everyone, especially minorities. They’re angry as hell, and filled with hate, that people not only voted against their agenda in November, but that, despite a hate-filled media onslaught people continue to vote against that hate-filled agenda through four special elections.

Why would Johnny Depp want, in this climate, to remind everyone that Democrats perpetuated slavery in the United States, defended slavery in the United States, still promote policies of dependence in the United States, and turn violent whenever anyway tries to end those hate-filled policies?

Over more than a century, Democrats throughout the United States have sought to glorify the Confederacy, from the battle flag to erecting monuments to the political leaders of the Confederacy. They have killed to do it. Republicans should work to tear down those monuments to slavery.

Peter Baker in the New York Times writes that conservatives can’t really be concerned about the President’s safety, because they criticize the President’s policies. What does this say about Baker and the Times’s criticism of George Bush and other conservatives?

Reading Lincoln, it seems that both conservative thought and anti-conservative thought really hasn’t changed much in a century and a half. Though less racist for his time, he was still racist. But his adherence to conservative principles enabled him to overcome his prejudices while his contemporaries who were not conservative sank deeper into racism.

From Lincoln on, Democrats have accused Republicans of their own failings: hate speech, violence, madness. And the more the left recycles the same serpent’s lies they used against President Lincoln, the more the left turns Trump into the new Lincoln.

Just when I think I’m starting to understand the Democrats’ new policies post-2016, they come out of left field and support war in Syria. Are they flip-flopping because of failure theater or because they hate Trump?

We’ve got to protect our phony-baloney jobs. Despite their complaints about Trump’s overreach, Democrats have introduced legislation to make it harder for them to block his administration’s regulations.

There’s a reason giant corporations and the biggest conglomerates are almost all donors to Democrats if they prefer one party over another. The left’s policies kill their upstart competitors. Big government hurts small businesses far more than it hurts big businesses.

Frederick Douglass was born in slavery and escaped it. He tells us that slavery by its very nature destroys rather than creates wealth. That it creates a poverty not just of mind and spirit, but of the pocketbook as well.

Lost?

They are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world. You will find that all the arguments in favor of kingcraft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people—not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden. That is their argument and this argument of the judge is the same old serpent that says, “You work and I eat, you toil and I will enjoy the fruits of it.” — Abraham Lincoln (The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln)
